Money is all that influences political speech
Techno-monopolies suck democracy like a leech
Stupefied society listens to what they preach
Eyes and ears everywhere, all within their reach
You understate me to overstate yourself
Technocrats plunge the world into a quagmire
And sell our thoughts to the highest buyer
Everyone you talk to, like they're wearing a wire
Fools gather around and celebrate the bonfire
You understate me to overstate yourself
Scientific findings blocked for half the Earth
Publishers profit out of scientist's worth
Talented brains play slaves to the capitalist system
A few defy it, play true to science and miss'em
Their idealism fights hard to survive, they listen
Academics stay strong, fuck greed, resist'em
You understate me to overstate yourself
Scientific findings blocked for half the Earth
Publishers profit out of scientist's worth
Respect, know the Earth to be an organism
Mourn for the fallen now living inside a prism
Mourn for the dying planet's condition
Dying to mourn for feudalism
Supply and demand, yeh right
They set a buying trap and you bite
A bunch of words they cite
Fall on facts like soft snow
And we can still feel Orwell's glow
Scientific findings blocked for half the Earth
Publishers profit out of scientist's worth
You underestimate me
I'm going to destroy everything you stand for
Fuck you
